Revaluation of SS Ichigo AP

To me the statements about "not just the Seireitei, but Soul Society" seems like the weapon can be used as overtime destruction for the Soul Society, no?
There is no narrative either for an imminent danger to assume it's gonna happen fast.

True, the Sokyoku is not just a one-time-use weapon.
 
True, the Sokyoku is not just a one-time-use weapon.
Sokyoku and Kiko Oh receive the 36× amp when executing a Shinigami which is what cause the hypothetical planetary destruction per Aizen words.

I also wrote a first-glance chain-scaling, is there anything else to add?
 
Also Ichigo and the other captains being planet level since the Soul Society Arc makes no sense considering Gremmy planned to kill everyone with his meteor (Characters insanely stronger than soul society Ichigo and Byakuya such as the Sternritter who themselves are seen scared for their lives and afraid of his meteor). This meteor has lower yield than the suggested planet level for Soul Society characters and Gremmy himself is shocked that someone has the power to cut the meteor in one slash. This further supports that the destruction of the Soul Society by the Sokyoku isn't referring to the planet but rather the cities/districts as otherwise these characters that are way way stronger than Soul Society Ichigo shouldn't be scared of a weaker meteor and Gremmy would know better than to try to use it to wipe everyone out.
Ok, I disagree with the first part of what you said as well, but I will mainly focus on this because I heavily disagree with using the meteor as an antifeat. Reason is simple: Gremmy imagined everyone will die because of the meteor. Thanks to his subjective reality, Gremmy can easily make multiple opponents die with a thought, without even people like Yachiru noticing his presence which suggests it was done without any physical action. Thus, the meteor being so dangerous is no antifeat.

If Gremmy can make multiple people die with a thought, why didn't he just kill everyone in Soul Society without the need of a meteor?

the meteor will kill everyone cuz a seretei busting meteor is too powerful for anyone (most) of the verse to handle

not cuz he warped reality to kill others cuz clearly it failed to kill everyone (also makes no sense to use a small meteor to kill a cast of 5-Bs when you can blink everyone into their deathbeds directly)

he affects people by introducing things which by their nature cause the effects as a consequence of it that the cast are hit with instead of afflicting them directly with it

he didnt imagine zaraki catching hypoxia - he BFR'd zaraki into space bringing hypoxia to him as a natural consequence

he didn't cause effects of drowning to hit zaraki - he BFR'd zaraki into a watery enclosure which then caused the intended effect

this follows the same logic

Because he's stupid. I keep saying, Gremmy sucks at using his brain. Also, he was nerfed by plot to not do the same to zaraki.

And Zaraki casually slices it.
not cuz he warped reality to kill others cuz clearly it failed to kill everyone
Yes, it did. In fact, gremmy also made so he can no longer die via wiping away every thought about his death. This also did nothing, because of bleach characters' ability to change the future by evolving in fights used by Zaraki who used his shikai for the first time in the fight.
(also makes no sense to use a small meteor to kill a cast of 5-Bs when you can blink everyone into their deathbeds directly)
Blame Gremmy for his stupidity&kubo for plot. Do you really think Kubo would just kill all of his characters like that?
he affects people by introducing things which by their nature cause the effects as a consequence of it that the cast are hit with instead of afflicting them directly with it
Did he plant a bomb inside Guanael? Because sure as hell he blew him up before completely removing him from his mind.

What is the cause other than him imagining it for Yachiru's bones being torn into cookies? He doesn’t need to create things that would then affect others, they are directly subjects to his powers.

And he can create things that affect everyone else except him, like Guanael's third stage of The Vanishing Point where he erases himself from everyone's memories, yet gremmy still remembered him
this follows the same logic
He isn't limited by that, lol.
 
Mfs gotta realise that just because a character is powerful enough to do X, that doesn't mean they would do X simply because of PIS / CIS. Them not doing it =/= they can't do it or they are not powerful enough to
 
Exactly. Heck, Gremmy knew Zaraki's power perfectly and still chose the meteor. This only further shows the meteor was not intended to kill everyone else via simply being far stronger than them

Well, Gremmy didn't know Zaraki's full strength perfectly. Zaraki has to pull out his Shikai to destroy the meteor which obviously resulted in a jump of power for him, and he would've exceeded whatever estimations Gremmy had of his strength.
 

Sometimes fiction is odd with scaling. On one hand, Ichigo stops it and it's hyped up in the databooks and by characters. But these same characters are then astounded by the fact he's even able to destroy the scaffold. Not only that, but the two strongest captains, the one's with transcendent spiritual pressure, have to use the Shihoin shield to destroy it? I haven't seen anyone bring this up nor has the OP covered it.

The story of the game is mainly about a character who was sealed for certain reasons. After returning, he starts absorbing Sokyoku’s powers to regain his strength. He even fights characters like Yamamoto in his shikai form and defeats him. Once he collects all the shards, he declares that no one in the Soul Society, the living world, or Hueco Mundo can stand against him. You can also see on Wikipedia that in the plot section of the game, it mentions that after collecting Sokyoku’s shards, he intended to destroy the Soul Society.
If we're using part of the game, then Yamamoto, the strongest shinigami is losing to this shinigami without all his shards from the bird, and then collects the rest and now no one can beat him, why would we ever scale anyone to the bird?

Gremmy could still make the meteor harder in an instant or whatever. Also, why do you think he would hold back against zaraki if he used the meteor for its ap&dc?
Why wouldn't he make it as hard as possible by default if its purpose was just to kill everyone via its scale?
 
Hey so yet again, they're some problems on my behalf I'll answer every message left out in a second-
Sorry for the trouble. please don't derail the thread in the time being thx:)
 
Because he's stupid. I keep saying, Gremmy sucks at using his brain. Also, he was nerfed by plot to not do the same to zaraki.
the two interps you can have from him is

  • his ability is limited, we attribute to him what he has shown capable of doing
  • his ability is truly unlimited, any potential ability he has that might be a wincon that is not used the result of being stupid

the latter is untrue and a terrible cop out, he is very intelligent, he is knowledgeable about Shinigami's weaknesses and the effects on the body that exposure to vacuum can result in, he also is knowledgeable enough to try and utilise them to his benefit, he boasts about his own abilities, like creating life & dopplegangers, there is a wincon he makes sure to use it well, we also see him actively improvise tactics when he acknowledges one style of offence (physical attacks) doesn't work to his favor so he transitions to attacks without form, he was also able to trick zaraki into cutting him while in reality that was just a decoy with bombs implanted to nuke his face while his real body/another clone was afar, he lost in the end due to his own ego and recklessness consuming him rather than him using random bullshit with no coherent mind

with the ability side of things, we are shown he's clearly not omnipotent, shown both in the manga as well as affirmed years later in Klub Outside answers

the first interp is what makes sense given everything, the second interp is just an NLF get out of jail free card, that's inconsistent with every single showing of gremmy's
And Zaraki casually slices it.
This is him NOT killing everyone if you haven't noticed
Yes, it did. In fact, gremmy also made so he can no longer die via wiping away every thought about his death. This also did nothing, because of bleach characters' ability to change the future by evolving in fights used by Zaraki who used his shikai for the first time in the fight.
wtf does this mean?

we not throwing out logical anti feats by arguing the author doesnt know what hes doing
Did he plant a bomb inside Guanael? Because sure as hell he blew him up before completely removing him from his mind.
Could be? most of it is off screened, we can hypothesize on what it could most likely be but neither of us can make a definitive yes or no statement because it is not shown
What is the cause other than him imagining it for Yachiru's bones being torn into cookies? He doesn’t need to create things that would then affect others, they are directly subjects to his powers.
he makes her bones into cookies --> cookies are brittle compared to bones --> her skeletal structure becomes brittle
He isn't limited by that, lol.
Needed to double his power just to do the feat, ofcourse he is limited by that
 
Yamamoto ZnT is accepted as surface wiping level over an unspecified time. Been that way for many years.

I don’t see how anyone can get Universal for this.

I believe the reason for them shiing bricks was a random ryoka capable of doing so and not some known figure-
The Shihoin shield wouldn't be much of a concern anyways, the bleach wiki covers how it functions (I'm only using it knowing how we accept many of the terms used there)
Also another point to notice is that I myself prefer using 1/36 power of the Kiko Oh or smth similar to Ichigo calcs, but yet again it'd be up to the decision we conclude by the end of this whole planet shenanigans.

the Arrancar (his name is hard forgive me for not typing it) was stated to be as strong as Yamamato through his own statements so he was sealed with the Sokyoku being the thing that suppress his powers, he later broke the seals via the shards caused by Sokyoku's destruction during the rescue then he got amped even more. It's not weird to assume that Sokyoku is still a pretty powerful weapon considering how all of the characters wanted to use the shards for their own cause. Albeit, as I told it's only a minor thing to point out knowing Kubo's involvement and the intentions of using the Sokyoku as an all powerful-weapon, yk?
 
Since Bleach uses AP values, you need to propose what values everyone scales to and include suggested multiplers for the ratings.
Ahh I see. I'd like to receive a proper conclusion first from the following messages first, then I'll ask Arc or anyone to help with the calcs knowing they are knowledgeable enough. sorry for being a bit under-prepared🙏
 
You've also forgotten a bunch of Shinigami, a bunch of Arrancar, basically every Sternritter, etc
Yes I am aware of that, I will add up all the missing characters in the meanwhile I respond to the counter args and concerns

Did I say anything else? Like, what are you even arguing against now?
, he is very intelligent,
Heavy disagree.
he is knowledgeable about Shinigami's weaknesses and the effects on the body that exposure to vacuum can result in, he also is knowledgeable enough to try and utilise them to his benefit
Please, tell me you don’t believe everyone who has the slightest clue about the effects of the vacuum of space over the body is "very intelligent". Never said he is the r-word(not sure it's allowed to use here, lol) or something like that. Just that he is stupid
, he boasts about his own abilities
Instead of keeping them a secret so he has better chances against his opponents who would just assume they are spells or illusions.
, like creating life & dopplegangers, there is a wincon he makes sure to use it well, we also see him actively improvise tactics when he acknowledges one style of offence (physical attacks) doesn't work to his favor so he transitions to attacks without form
Even a kid would do this, that's clearly not a sign of being "very intelligent".
, he was also able to trick zaraki into cutting him while in reality that was just a decoy with bombs implanted to nuke his face while his real body/another clone was afar
He literally made his clones just surround zaraki and explode basically doing Gotenks' kamikaze ghosts. Again, this is far from being very intelligent.
, he lost in the end due to his own ego and recklessness consuming him rather than him using random bullshit with no coherent mind
Traits an intelligent person would be aware of and try to control?
If he was so intelligent, why didn't he just turn zaraki'a bones into cookies?
This is him NOT killing everyone if you haven't noticed
And I literally explained why this didn't happen?
wtf does this mean?

we not throwing out logical anti feats by arguing the author doesnt know what hes doing
Bruh, this is like "Why doesn't the solar system lvl character destroy the planet every time he fights?"
Could be? most of it is off screened, we can hypothesize on what it could most likely be but neither of us can make a definitive yes or no statement because it is not shown
Ah, yes, a soundless bomb which blows up a 6B character😑. And we literally see the entire thing on screen. Arhuing there is one is just an appeal to possibility, ngl. Unless explicitly shown or stated you can't just assume something.
he makes her bones into cookies --> cookies are brittle compared to bones --> her skeletal structure becomes brittle
You said and I quote: "he affects people by introducing things which by their nature cause the effects as a consequence of it that the cast are hit with instead of afflicting them directly with it"
Yachiru was directly affected when her bones became cookies. The ability directly worked on her. Her being hurt because of it is a consequence of the ability directly affecting her
Needed to double his power just to do the feat, ofcourse he is limited by that
How does doubling his imagination's power mean his imagination is limited to only affecting people indirectly?
 
the meteor will kill everyone cuz a seretei busting meteor is too powerful for anyone (most) of the verse to handle

not cuz he warped reality to kill others cuz clearly it failed to kill everyone (also makes no sense to use a small meteor to kill a cast of 5-Bs when you can blink everyone into their deathbeds directly)

I was hoping we can ignore any following argument that comes off as PIS or CIS. Not to make a whataboutism or a non squitur but we have moments like this in Naruto as well with thousands of Shinobis and Kages being afraid of a smaller meteor, making these arguments are pretty dishonest Icl.

Yamamoto ZnT is accepted as surface wiping level over an unspecified time. Been that way for many years.

I don’t see how anyone can get Universal for this.
I am genuinely confused, where anyone presented anything about Uni feats?
please do not focus on gremmy in here bro
well said, I believe ItsMeat argued the matter multiple times in different forums (at least from what I remember.)
let's refuse the usage of repetition here.

And most of those shinobi ended up dying... So the fear was justifiable and makes sense.
 
I think the interpretation that the Soul Society is referring to the Seireitei and Rukongai only makes the most sense considering that not only is the Soul Society introduced within the same arc as being composed of the Sereitei and Rukongai but most of the time when it's mentioned in the arc it's referring to the political entity rather than the planet. In fact I would argue that assuming that statements mentioning the Soul Society without further context should be considered to be referring to the inhabited land of the Soul Society (aka the Seireitei and the Rukongai) as it's what the word is mostly referring to across the series (For example devestating and wrecking the Soul Society in these scans are referring to the destruction of the buildings and cities). There are barely any statements that refer to the "Soul Society" directly as the planet.

Also Ichigo and the other captains being planet level since the Soul Society Arc makes no sense considering Gremmy planned to kill everyone with his meteor (Characters insanely stronger than soul society Ichigo and Byakuya such as the Sternritter who themselves are seen scared for their lives and afraid of his meteor). This meteor has lower yield than the suggested planet level for Soul Society characters and Gremmy himself is shocked that someone has the power to cut the meteor in one slash. This further supports that the destruction of the Soul Society by the Sokyoku isn't referring to the planet but rather the cities/districts as otherwise these characters that are way way stronger than Soul Society Ichigo shouldn't be scared of a weaker meteor and Gremmy would know better than to try to use it to wipe everyone out.
I believe I have addressed must of these earlier, seeing the scans for the first link it's something that contradicts itself by statements like the Central 46 having judgement upon all of the SS (knowing other sub-branches which we discussed prior) with the next one showing "Souls that enter the SS enter the Rukongai / Seireitei" which would also reaffirm that the SS isn't somewhere known as a main land but rather the planet / dimension / society; you don't see the souls entering the Royal Palace nor Muken after entering the SS.

Also the meteor feat is currently being discussed. Aside from that we had feats prior even in the SS arc with the Reishukaku entering the barrier through sharing their Reiryoku. Also the scan follows up with Jugram and others being concerned for Yhwach, does that mean we should devalue and downgrade Yhwach and all of the 0 Division to Gremmy's level? cool.

lol what?

I don’t scale the average shinobi to be a planet buster so this doesn’t make sense? The meteor on site also scales more than 20x higher than anyone present in the fight too?😭

I don’t wanna turn this crt into 5 pages discussing another series but this response was just terrible

yet again, I am not trying to prove Naruto being below meteor levels or anything, don't take my words as such. I'm just giving an example with these type of scenarios presented, we see these everywhere + as I said if we're getting the meteor to a level that cause contraindications with a 5B scaling then we should also remove any ratings for characters such as Renji or Yhwach post-meteor since they were concerned over the meteor.
 
can someone put up a list of unanswered counter-arguments so we can focus on those without back tracks? i feel like we're still stuck with the range being planetary or not.

I think it still says something that the seal is hard to remove and that instead of just attacking with their regular swords, they needed to use that. Ukitake goes out of his way to break the rules to get it and Soifon makes it apparent that is what is used to destroy the bird.

That's more context about the arrancar so that makes more sense.

There's also the idea Ichigo is just stopping the bird not the explosion it would cause?
